Tredegar Medical Aid Society
Really interesting to learn that the [[NHS]] was part inspired by the Tredegar Medical Aid Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tredegar_Medical_Aid_Society).
It was a mutual society providing health care free at the point of use in South Wales. Nye Bevan, who spearheaded the foundation of the NHS, was from Tredegar.

garden/vera/notes on quantum mechanics.md by @vera
[[speculative outline]] for [[quantum mechanics]]
was trying to explain to my friend the other day how [[quantum decoherence]] is responsible for our observation of whether [[schrodinger’s cat]] is dead(sleeping) or alive(awake)
- I like the sleep/awake version better because it doesn’t involve killing cats
-
the universe (specifically the observer) finds themselves in a world that the cat is awake/asleep. There are two observers (we are talking about [[many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics]] here).
-
In the [[copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics]], there is only one observer and the universe "collapses" to show us what’s "really happening"
- this is how quantum mechanics is usually explained and I don’t like it because it adds extra stuff that doesn’t need to be there for the sake of making people "feel better", which I believe to be one of the greatest sins of science

- [[side note]] the TV show [[devs]] is an interesting show that talks about quantum mechanics from a very mathematically sound perspective
